Human being-ing

I am a human being-ing. It is easy to read being without seeing the be-ing, the ing.

And what is that be-ing but the pure magic sought by all who seek.

This being has no time as it always is, from here to there don't make sense when it always is. This is the being at the root of all, at the root of you. Human.

False hierarchies

The most advanced alien life, say a dolphin, lion, garden shrub, bacteria, fly, rat; all are actually as well advanced as every other. Only the human, feeling advanced with its tools, is in folly due to the wish to explain itself, where every other just is.

Here

Now. Awakened. And every moment, every action, every act, every sight of the eye, sound of the ear, sense of the heart, is only the truth.

Then you need no time, no place to be or go, nothing to seek and nothing missing.

The man at prayer, the woman singing praise, are not wrong in your eyes but as filled with truth as the moo of a cow and the wind in the trees, no more or less.

The grass under your feet is a great as the space above your head and both contain each other as the universe contains itself and you are all things.

Breathing, you are dead. Living you decay. As dust you feed life. As new life you return to life.

My dogs best jacket

I asked my dog what she'd like to do for her birthday and she said she had nothing to wear and no money but wanted to have a nice run by the river and chew a stick or two.

I thought this was a great idea.

I asked my sister and she said her husband had exams, they were moving house soon, work was stressful and she may not get home in time to even have a rest before her birthday was out.

I thought "and you, human, are the smart one?"

heterarchy

Anyone recognising the truth could not bear for someone to act as if inferior, would laugh at someone acting superior, and would respect all in nature from fly to fish as a living equal in Tao.

sediments

Rivers and weather can be explained in words and so can spiritual ideas.

The more words used the less the description resembles the truth of just sitting, by the river, in the moon light.

Clouds don't stain the sky.

Sun and a cool breeze, A clap of thunder and a torrent of rain.

Same Sky. 

So too you. Often Calm, can blow up, react!

Here too, be like the sky; open and empty, never holding on, not lingering.

Right action in motion

The flower turns to the light. The tree grows towards the sky.

So too you act perfectly well.

Trust

Did you see the 200 year old turtle apply wrinkle cream?

Did you see the Lion condition his mane?

Did you see the bird plan her journey?

All trust Nature.

Structure of death

Does concrete make for an attractive river?

Would a steel field bring a harvest?

Would rules of organisation make ants more efficient?

Would paper records improve graciousness of flight?

mystery of awakening

The mystery so powerful as to form the world.

The thoughts of the mind so limited.

When enough dew has collected, it drips.

When thoughts are dispersed, awakening.

Action in Stillness

 

In just the same way as a lake acts in settling dirt, nourishing life and floating logs - Without doing a thing; always in balance and remaining calm – manage your life.

 

Adjusting the nut

D) I'm still trying to adjust to this notion of being infinite awareness but still having a role in life, a job, family..

T) A squirrel is also infinite awareness, but still has to fetch nuts to nibble.

D) Is this not unfair to compare me to a lowly squirrel?

T) How dare you voice opinion over the costume I see fit to wear.

What to do?

Now just simplify your mind and self,
that's all there is so just sit;
Be balance and unknowing flow,
Natures truth is here that's it.

Death

Like a ripe fruit decays,
to continue new life;
We see a seed is not birth,
and no one ever really dies.

Just go with it

Our viewpoints are relative see?
Tao has no intention just play;
Extremes in our mind are waves on the lake,
and just our nature sway.

plain again

Two enlightened people decide to talk of truth. Both end out thoroughly confused!

“What chance do people have with books?” One laughs.

“Better born deaf in a field than born to a religious house” Says the other.
